Alien lambda

Alien lambda (alien wavelength) is a technology that allows a “foreign wavelength” operator to be plugged directly into a DWDM system from a client device to increase the bandwidth of existing DWDM networks or run an encryption service.

Salumanus provides a system to support the transmission of customer data after the operator's DWDM infrastructure.

In a situation where:

1. unexpectedly increased volume of streaming services
2. you need to build a relationship between two distant locations for several transmissions
3. you want to launch a new service, and you do not have such capabilities on an existing hardware platform

Single-fiber transmission systems

Traditionally, most fiber optic networks use two fibers: one to send and the other to receive data. However, single-fiber transmission systems, as the name suggests, use only one fiber for both of these tasks. Sounds simple, doesn't it? But how does it work?

• How does it work?

The key is to use different wavelengths for sending and receiving data in the same fiber. This allows the signals to travel back and forth without interfering with each other. It's a bit like a two-way highway, where each direction has its own lane, and cars can safely move in both directions.

Why should you be interested in single-fiber systems?

Cost savings

By using just one fiber instead of two, we can significantly reduce infrastructure costs. Less fiber means less material, as well as simpler installation and maintenance.

Spatial efficiency

In places where space is at a premium, such as in crowded data centers, single-fiber systems are ideal. They take up less space, which is crucial in space-constrained environments.

Easier management

Less fiber is a less complicated network, which makes it easier to manage and diagnose problems.

Increased bandwidth


Although it may seem unintuitive, single-fiber systems can offer better bandwidth by making more efficient use of available resources.

What to look out for?

When implementing single-fiber systems, it is important to pay attention to the quality of the equipment. Since the system relies on precise wavelength separation, it is crucial to use high-quality multiplexers and demultiplexers that can effectively separate and combine signals.

Single-fibre transmission systems are not only economical and efficient, but also a step towards a simpler, more integrated network infrastructure.
